What did you do with your free faceplates?
 
As many know, I sent out numerous N800 faceplates to a variety of tablet owners. I've seen 2 results here: rcadden's very nice camo job and thoughtfix's... well... indescribable red... thing (:D).

But what about the rest of you? Any wild paint jobs to share? I'd love to see!

Re: What did you do with your free faceplates?
 
No, sorry munky. Far out of that loop now that the factory is closed (:(... don't get me started...)

And... pics!

too bad you guys don't have anymore.

A nice white face plate, with the silver and black would have made this machine look sweet.

Wait.... If I remember corectly Textrat, you had a bunch of them!!! If you sent them out to people it's only right we get some pics.

Re: What did you do with your free faceplates?
 
I know Texrat is out but anyone know of a way to get anymore. I would like to do some paint work on one to see how it would look.

Thanks
Dave

Now that I actually own an n800, I'd love a shot at messing with an extra faceplate. I have done a laptop or two in the past that came out ok (link below w/ before and after pics)...

If anyone has a face plate to spare (It'd suck to ruin the ONE faceplate sitting on your 800), let me know.

I tryed to add one to the cart to see what it would do, but only gives me an error message that I can not read. O well. anyone else have any luck adding one to the cart?

Re: What did you do with your free faceplates?
 
best route to go is to powdercoat it like i did , paint will always scratch and chip off... trust me i know lol. the powder comes in every color from bright red to textured gold and black

n800 is a real phone after all!

Original Nokia N800 Dekselramme inkl. Micro, Tablet Standing Support, Stylus Assy, DC-Jack, Simcard Holder, Memorycard Door.
So this is another easter egg!
Here is irrefutable documentary proof:

[PS: I absolutely refuse to believe that this is a typo and that they meant SDcard Holder instead of SimCard Holder :) ]

Re: What did you do with your free faceplates?
 
would you like to point out where the sim card holder is... just cause some obscure website says something doesnt mean its true.
